It's obvious to anyone who's being honest that many depressive episodes that get labeled "clinical depression" are triggered by major life events like the death of a loved one and therefore there is at least some psychological element involved. The pharmaceutical companies are interested in convincing everyone that it is purely physical and therefore requires chemical delivery packages to ever have a hope of overcoming, but an honest analysis demonstrably dismantles this idea. Sometimes you have to be willing to look past the studies and trials bought and paid for by drug companies, recognize that every published study, in any field, is complex and flawed, and be willing to admit what's plainly visible even if there an intelligentsia (also purchased) standing by to aggressively shout you down and claim that their fancy documents allow them to define reality and that any naysayers should be ostracized and cast out. It's kind of funny that this same intelligentsia has now latched onto "bullying" as a pet issue, since it's basically been their MO for many years. Almost all progress gained by this group is gained by shaming less articulate and/or ballsy persons into submission.
